I wish I saved the FB thread I was on where I was adamant this thing wasnt making Dec 27 and I was being told how quickly movies can be completed these days. Yea, but delays delays.
@LesBowen And unless they’re going to do it regularly, running hurts at this point is wasted bullets. Beyond ‘what does siranni do?!’ Is hurts has to be a threat to run or else its nothing.
@ToddManyNumbers went to a show today and grabbed these from a guy getting rid of the rest of his TF stuff. He had a friend’s TT Gen Metroplex open but unused for $400! Good thing they opened it for me. Somehow it had yellowed really badly…
@MattSnyderCBS Find smart front office people. There is NO salary cap there and even the very BEST ones still cost less than a 3rd yr arb guy, yet they can impact the entire org.
Too much time and effort hunting Kyle Tucker when you should be looking for Arnold, Neander, Rays v of Friedman.
I shouldn’t be surprised the guy that made a perfect Picard season 3/TNG season 8 has made a phenomenal marvel show. This is Emmy stuff, especially for Spader
The Phillies not making a fairly obvious decision now on Turner, even if its bumping elsewhere on the INF, could be problematic to building an entirely new OF.

Head of Marvel Television Brad Winderbaum on ‘DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN’ ending with Season 3 and the future of the character:
“The plan was always to culminate at 3, because the way we’re looking at it, the original series is 3 seasons, Born Again is 3 seasons. They’re kind of like trade paperbacks or collections that you can slot into your shelves, like these are two 3-volume sets, and then we will take a breath and figure out what’s next for the character.”
“He [Charlie] doesn’t stop. He is a machine, and the performances in Season 3 are so remarkable. I think Dario hit the story from some interesting angles. We’re taking a lot of influence from The Devil in Cell-Block D. Plus, we got Bullseye in it and a few other characters I can’t talk about. Of course, the Defenders.”
Seems like Sana Amanat is overseeing the remaining post-production work after Dario’s departure.
